ROCHESTER — The following items are based on 801 entries on the Rochester Police Log from May 31 to June 5:

Friday, May 31

1:17 a.m. — Suspicions are raised when a truck stops on Bronze Court and someone looks around the area with a spotlight. Wait… it looks like public works is flushing hydrants. No copper needed, everything’s golden.

3:36 a.m. — A man is walking all over Wellsweep Circle making noises. He is not flushing hydrants.

6:07 a.m. — Big’s Diner on Milton Road has been broken into.

8:24 a.m. — An ex shows up on Western Avenue and allegedly makes money threats.

8:40 a.m. — A truck window has been smashed on Lafayette Street.

8:48 a.m. — A yard sale blocks a Portland Street sidewalk, and has to haul itself into a driveway.

10:17 a.m. — Straps holding down scrap metal on a Lafayette Street truck have been cut.

5:15 p.m. — A lady strikes a gentleman down on the Pickering Road, it’s said she’s knocked back several beers and livened the abode, the gent is also quaffing ale — the action the cops choose is splitting up the parties from themselves, if not the booze.

5:54 p.m. — Kids dig up a gun on Lowell Street… it turns out to be an Airsoft piece.

1:57 p.m. — A South Blueberry Lane woman has resisted a scam from a phoney Publishers Clearing House caller.

2:32 p.m. — A man near Windjammers is so drunk no one can understand him. He is relocated to the county jail.

3:11 p.m. — There’s been a theft at the high school.

3:55 p.m. — A Signal Street man yells he doesn’t feel dizzy, though by grabbing his chest he gets folks in a tizzy. It turns out he’s drunk — you may well ask, where is he? Sleeping it off in a cell. Monday’s busy!

5:06 p.m. — Blades, hammers and poles are mentioned, re a disturbance on North Main Street. Nobody wants to talk about it.

5:25 p.m. — An antique iron lobster has been stolen from an Olde Farm Lane home.
